I'm not sure for what purposes, but hooks are flexible enough for this 
to be possible today already (without Eglot in the core).

More generally, I oppose collecting more and more code inside Emacs. 
Lots of features can live just as well as packages.

That's the goal of TreeSitter, isn't it? Or are there some new additions 
to the LSP protocol I haven't heard about?

We should support LSP, and have an easy way for the users to take 
advantage of the support. That's clear.

But even the usual argument to have stuff in the core ("what if I don't 
have Internet?") doesn't work for Eglot, considering it needs to 
download external programs anyway (or have the user download them).
